While we may or may not have sales items, it’s always fun to meet new people and see new dolls!

If meets are hosted at someone’s private residence, the location will be withheld, but a link to the appropriate forum for RSVPs will be included.

Most meet ups are posted on either ChitownDollz or Dairyland BJD forums. Feel free to join & meet us! We don’t bite.

Looking forward to posting more events/meet ups for next year, and hopefully meeting new people as well.

We are planning on taking advantage of the “No Insertion Fees for the First 50 Listings per Month” on Ebay to not only sell doll items, but also other random items around the apartment. I will admit, though, that the Resin Melody Ebay account will primarily be used for doll items.

Want to check out what’s in our “online garage sale”? Take a look! http://bit.ly/rFPi5T

Basically, it’s an online chatroom with a webcam option available.

If anybody wants to join in the chat, feel free! People come and go throughout the day, so if there’s nobody online when you join the room, stick around. Chances are, someone will be along shortly.

In all honesty, there’s no requirement to be sewing or have a webcam. It’s just an option.

Questions? Let me know! If I can’t answer them, I can always ask someone who is more knowledgeable and get back to you.

Imagine my excitement when one of our local collectors asked me to do a faceup on her new I!

She requested a faceup to go with a black wig, and provided me reference pictures in both photoshop and hand-drawn. I hope I got it all correct. *fingers crossed*

The PM to the owner was sent today with pictures, and I thought I would post them up here as well. I think she came out super cute!

Hopefully the owner likes her

If you are just finding out about the BJD hobby, be sure to check out the links for the Dairyland BJD forum and the ChitownDollz forum.

Dairyland BJD is a forum primarily serving the Midwest. It started in Wisconsin and has since spread worldwide. Most members, however, reside in the Midwest.

ChitownDollz is a forum serving the Chicago-area. We might not chat on there as much as we’d like (most of us are on Dairyland and tend to chat there more), but we do post all of our Chicago-area meetups on Chitown.

We also met some new friends while participating in Artist Alley. We hope to see them at other conventions!

Feel free to check out Paradise Rose on Etsy. Lina makes the most adorable cupcake and sweets jewelry! She also makes the cutest bows, stars & lace brooch/hair accessories. Perfect for the sweet lolitas and mori girls out there.

Also check out Sweet Plushie Cake Creations on Etsy. Tasha makes the most awesome fleece hats out there! They are super cute and amazingly warm! She also does custom plushies, and her plushies are excellent quality! Don’t hesitate to contact her if you have something in mind. I’m sure she’ll be able to help you out!

As for Resin Melody‘s Etsy shop, we will be updating the shop with new items this week. Stay posted!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at future meetups and conventions!

If anybody has any questions, please feel free to contact me!

She looks fantastic, in my opinion. Almost good enough to keep. However, I must sell her, so she is posted up on Den of Angels, and she will also be available at KollisionCon 2011.

The head was received directly from Luts back in 2008 or so, and it was a lovely shade of beauty green. >.< There was a bit of frustration at the time since Luts tried telling me the head was sold out AFTER I ordered and paid (via bank transfer no less), and I pushed the point that the head was in stock. Apparently, the only head in stock was the beauty green one…

The original plan was to put the head on a MNF large bust body, so both were ordered together. Unfortunately, other people have differing opinions as to what “fits” when it comes to a hybrid head/body combo. The neck-hole in the head was way too small to fit on the MNF body neck.

I was finally able to try the head on my Dollzone Feilian’s body, and the fit was PERFECT! However, the resin match was pretty horrible.

This all took time to take place, and I was just recently able to finish dyeing her and giving her a faceup. She came out really cute, in my opinion! I would love to do more of these, but it takes FOREVER to dye the dolls. Especially Dollzone – the resin did NOT want to take the dye without waiting forever…

She actually came out very even, which was surprising. The last doll I dyed black still ended up a bit streaky/splotchy.

I will be posting pictures sometime this week! And she will be available at KollisionCon in St. Charles, IL.
